What is Mir Sufi Healing?
Mir Sufi Healing is a spiritual healing system rooted in Sufi traditions that works with divine energy to promote healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. It incorporates meditation, energy transmission, prayer and connection to God as the ultimate source of healing energy.
How does a healing session work?
During a session, the healer typically begins with prayer and invocation, then channels healing energy towards the patient's energy system by hovering hands over energy centres, without physical touch. Each session may focus on different energy systems, typically lasting 30-40 minutes. You may lie down or sit comfortably while the healer works with your energy field. Sessions often include discussing patient's & practitioner's feedback, questions & answers, and support for spiritual practices - e.g. mindfulness, meditation.
Do I need to have any particular religious beliefs?
While Mir Sufi Healing has roots in Sufi Islamic traditions, it welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds. We all share the same human energy system comprised of various organs like chakras, aura, kundalini, latifs (letaif). Our focus is on universal principles of love, compassion, and divine connection rather than religious doctrine.
What should I expect to feel during treatment?
The best mindset is to try and avoid expectations is it undermines your experience in subtle ways. Experiences vary widely among individuals or even between treatments for the same person. Some people report feeling warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or emotional release. Others may see colours or lights, while some feel very little during the session but notice changes afterward. All responses are normal and valid.
-> What conditions can Mir Sufi Healing help with?
Practitioners work with elements of the human energy system like chakras, aura, kundalini, latif/letaif for spiritual healing of the individual. A balanced energy system promotes spiritual progress and helps with spiritual blockages, emotional imbalances and the impact of life challenges on spiritual wellbeing. However, it's important to understand that spiritual healing complements but does not substitute conventional medical treatment for physical health conditions.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies greatly depending on your individual situation, the nature of your concerns, and how you respond to the healing energy. Some people experience significant shifts after a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing regular treatments over weeks. We encourage everyone who experiences the positive effect of spiritual healing to learn for themselves and make healing a part of their life without needing external support.
What should I do to prepare for a session?
Just come with an open heart and mind! That's easier said than done, though. Our mind is programmed to set expectations and control, however that undermines the experience. Instead, it's helpful to set intentions for overall wellbeing and balance, welcome and observe whatever comes. You may also say a prayer yourself in whatever form you believe in. On the physical side, wear comfortable clothing, avoid heavy meals beforehand, and try to arrive in a calm, receptive state.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Mir Sufi Healing is generally considered very gentle and safe. Some people experience temporary emotional release, vivid dreams, or mild physical sensations as energy shifts occur. These are typically part of the healing process rather than adverse effects. You may share and discuss these with your practitioner, if you wish.
How much does treatment typically cost?
Costs vary significantly depending on the practitioner, location, and length of session. Many Sufi healers operate on a donation basis or sliding scale, following the tradition of making healing accessible to all regardless of financial means. See our Treatments or Training sections on this web site for more details.
How do I find a qualified practitioner?
Look for healers who have trained in authentic Sufi lineages, have good reputations in their communities, and approach their work with humility and service orientation. Personal referrals and recommendations are often the best way to find trustworthy practitioners.
What's the difference between this and other energy healing modalities?
Mir Sufi Healing is deep rooted in tradition over countless generations and now made available in a modern, accessible form to benefit all humanity. Mir Sufi Healing specifically draws upon Sufi-Islamic mystical traditions, emphasizing surrender to divine will and love, and purification of the heart. Practitioners and teachers go through extensive training under close supervision from their master typically over many years.
Can children receive this type of healing?
Yes, children often respond very well to spiritual healing. However, parental consent is required, and sessions are typically shorter and gentler for young people.
